I'd rather pay the extra money for a quality set of wheels.

I did some looking, and found a staggered 19x9/19x10" setup for $1500. Cheaper than the FRPP SVTPP wheels.

I was looking at gunmetal F14s.

Nice. New or "previously owned"?

New, of course. Element wheels had them.

That's the key....proper offset. I hate how the OEM wheels are so tucked in.

are there any more pictures on the internet of the gray mustang with the welds? i personally like the wide and beefy look that car has, but with the smaller overall diameter tire on an 18" wheel, it looks a little strange when looking at it directly from the side (that's where you notice that the overall diameter of the tire is a little small for the fender openings). I like the benefits of running an 18" wheel with a slightly smaller OD tire (~25.5-26), but the look could kill it.
